Silence of the Obama Cult.....................

by Warlock in

on january 20th, inauguration day, the dow had it's worst inauguration day decline.. pretty much a non-issue for the mainstream media, and members of the obama cult.. warlock .

Berean

The market has been swinging wildly from one day to the next for at least the last year. In the interest of intellectual honesty, Warlock, why did you fail to mention that the day AFTER the inauguration, the Dow gained back almost everything it had lost the day before?

I was speaking specifically about Inauguration Day, not the day before, nor the day after.

Warlock

All righty then. Ill see your “one day drop when Obama was inaugurated” and see you two record drops while Republican presidents were in office.

October 19, 1987
The amount the market declined from peak to bottom : 508.32 points, 22.6%, or $500 billion lost in one day. The largest one-day percentage drop in history.

President at the time Regan (Republican)

September29, 2008

Dow slumping nearly 778 points, in the biggest single-day point loss ever.

President at the time Bush (Republican)

Wow, what do you know? Must be connected to Republicans having a president in charge. In both I am specifically speaking about record drops in the market while Republicans have a president in charge.

I just wanted to point these facts out and lead people to believe there is some sinister link to Republican presidents and record drops in the market.

What do the two cases above really say about Republican presidents? Nothing really. The markets make large movements at times; that's just how it works. There is a lot more going on than who is president or who is being sworn in that day. It really doesn't matter who is in charge at the time.

i have heard people call obama their "lord and savior" and act like having him in office is going to solve everything for the world.

i honest believe, a lot of people have extremely high hopes for this man.

some deserved, as he promised and others imposed as they are desperate.

Really!!!! You must associate with some really messed up people. It's amazing that you can have such a fair and balanced view of Obama.

Certain parts of Hotel California always reminded me of being a JW

"Hotel California"

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'

And???????? The speculation in the European banking system was running high. Are you saying this was created by Obama's inauguration? REALLY? WOW! The reality is that the troubles of RBS, the Bank of England and the Bank of America had more to do with the drop than Obama being inaugurated. There is a cult here alright ... what's the name of yours?

if you say fiction, how to explain all the hundreds of fulfilled prophecies?.

OnTheWayOut We must have read the same books and seen the same programs. Seems like we both have come to the same conclusion. Berean

2008 is over and still no Armagedon I feel like I made an ass of myself!

by Witness 007 in

like rutherford said "i made an ass of myself" regarding 1925...it's 2008-2009 and still no "end.

" i remember sitting in pizza hut with pioneers argueing {1991} that the end must come by 2000 at the latest...now it's nearly 2010!.

a book i read afew years ago regarding secret hebrew "codes" in the bible claimed the code identified 2007-08 as the end of the world...well unless it happens in the next week that was a load of crap as well....i wonder when many of my witness friends will "awake" to this joke..

Berean

OK if the end doesn't come in the next week or so, my next prophecy target date is 2012 (Mayan calendar end you know).

After that the date will be 2014 (1914 + 100 just in case the Borg is on to something)

After that I will post my new prophecy date.

An interesting email I got from a DA'd friend I was catching up with

by JimmyPage in

jw
friends

recently i got back in touch with a da'd friend that i grew up with.

i'm going to focus on one part of her email because i think it's relevant to this board.

when i mentioned that i had been on an ex-jw website, she writes:.

Berean

The comments she made struck me as being highly judgmental; possibly a holdover from the Watchtower training and attitude. I doubt she has really moved on if she was ever that strong as a JW. If she was just there and didn't really believe everything then she has nothing to move on from.

let's hope Jehovah's Witnesses will see this movie and get them thinking

by kool aid man06 in

anew movie coming out on dec. 12. this movie subject deals with child molestation in the catholic church and how they tried to cover it up.

let's hope the witnesses will go to see it and get them thinking.

it's rated p.g.

Berean

I would think that the average JW doesn't know about the abuse problem in the congregations and therefore would not associate the problem to themselves.
